Kitchen Aid Glass Stovetop Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Radiant stove top appearance is very nice. The ceramic glass top is easy to maintain and clean with the Affresh ceramic stove top cleaner. The other brand Weiman is good but can be a bit too aggressive if too much pressure is applied while rubbing gunk from cooking. I do use the Weiman glass top cleaners first to clean the ceramic glass top first and I apply the Affresh to remove the stains the spray can’t. Affresh has can rub out most cooking stains. Again the Kitchen Aid ceramic stove top is very attractive, but the two BIG negatives for me is the on off switch. A few of the knobs are wobbly and do not feel secure and not built well. First 2 knobs from the left feel a little wobbly. Not imagining this! The last 3 knobs feel a bit more secure, but not by much. The bezel on top of the glass top is so cheaply applied I was shocked. The bezel (like a trim ring) is only put in place by a glue like substance. It’s not even screwed into the glass top. This is called cheaping out making production costs lower, the reason I know is while I was cleaning and got some spray around the bottom edges, it caused the bezel to loosen off center and I removed the knob to see how it was secured. To my great surprise and disappointment this bezel was held in place by a glue like substance. It should haven been screwed in, not glued. So this is it in a nutshell!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first cooktop and I love it! Great amount of cooking space and like the burners offering 3 different sizes for pans.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the first cooktop came with far right knob tilted. So was the second one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this cooktop for about a month now. The cooktop is nice and evenly heats our pots and pans. When you purchase this item, be sure to purchase Afresh cooktop cleaner as well as somethings cannot be cleaned with soap and water.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 16 year old Kitchenaid cooktop finally bit the dust. Shopping for a new one was difficult because of the cut if our Granite. We had to find one that fit. Another Kitchenaid was the only one that would fit so we found this model. I was looking for one with a flat top and integrated temperature controls but none were available. This model has the stainless knows and they are so hard to clean around but I was spoiled with the totally flat one I had. The entire surface seems to be very difficult to clean. I already have rings on my burner area that I can't seem to get rid of. Nothing has been burned on them. Not as happy with this one as my old one.
